REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Partners

New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership (the Partnership) as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, partners’ capital, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2023, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the Partnership maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

Basis for Opinion

The Partnership’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Partnership Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Partnership in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in

reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Partnership; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Partnership are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Partnership; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Partnership’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Impairment of Investment Properties

As described in Notes 1 and 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Partnership recognized an other than temporary impairment related to one investment property under development. The Partnership reviews the carrying value of investment properties on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate a possible impairment. Events or circumstances that may prompt a review of the carrying value of investment properties may include a significant decrease in the anticipated market price of the investment property, an adverse change to the extent or manner in which an asset may be used, or a significant change in its physical condition or damage due to catastrophic event.

The Partnership reviews its investment properties for potential impairment through an analysis of net operating income. In the event that any impairment indicators are present, the Partnership undertakes additional analyses utilizing expected undiscounted future cash flows, expected disposition proceeds for a given asset and anticipated rates of return for its recent acquisitions. Forecasting of cash flows requires management to make estimates and assumptions about such variables as the anticipated holding period, rental revenues and operating expenses during the holding period, capital expenditures and rates of return.

The principal consideration for our determination that the impairment of investment properties is a critical audit matter is that it involves a high degree of subjectivity in evaluating management's estimates used in determining the undiscounted cash flow estimates. We performed the following procedures, among others, in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We tested management’s internal controls over the identification of potential investment property impairments, such as controls over the Partnership’s annually analysis of net operating income, as well management review controls to identify potential events which could indicate impairment. We examined and evaluated (i) the Partnership’s net operating income trend analysis; (ii) the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in management’s assessment of indicators of impairment; and (iii) reasonableness of significant assumptions and methods used in developing the undiscounted cash flow estimates. When the net operating income analysis indicated that additional analysis was required, we assessed whether the significant assumptions, including estimated holding period, rental revenues and operating expenses during the holding period, capital expenditures and rates of return used in determining the future undiscounted cash flows were reasonable.

Evaluation of the identification of related parties and related party transactions

As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, The General Partner engages The Hamilton Company, Inc. to manage the properties of the Partnership and its Joint Ventures. The Hamilton Company, Inc. is wholly owned by Brown family related entities. In addition, The Partnership shares ownership of seven of its Joint Ventures with the Brown family related entities. Each of these entities is a related party. The Partnership has entered a number of transactions with the Hamilton Company, Inc. including property management services and other professional services such as legal, accounting and construction. These fees are permitted by the Partnership Agreement.

We identified the evaluation of the identification of related parties and related party transactions as a critical audit matter. Auditor judgment was involved in assessing the sufficiency of the procedures performed to identify related parties and related party transactions of the Partnership.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Partnership’s related party process, including controls over the identification of the Partnership’s related party relationships and transactions. We read agreements and contracts between the Partnership and related parties; queried the accounts payable system for transactions with related parties; evaluated the Partnership’s reconciliation of its applicable accounts to the related parties’ records of transactions and balances; read the Partnership’s minutes from meetings of the Board of Directors and related committees; inquired with executive officers, key members of management, and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors regarding related party transactions; and read public filings, external news and research sources for information related to transactions between the Partnership and related parties.

NOTE 1. SIGN****IFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Line of Business: New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership (“NERA” or the “Partnership”) was organized in Massachusetts in 1977. NERA and its subsidiaries own 31 properties which include 22 residential buildings and properties;5 mixed use residential, retail and office properties;4 commercial properties, and individual units atone condominium complex. These properties total 2,943 apartment units,19 condominium units and approximately 130,000 square feet of commercial space. Additionally, the Partnership also owns a 40-50% interest in 7 residential and mixed use properties consisting of 688 apartment units,12,500 square feet of commercial space and a 50 car parking lot. The properties are located in Eastern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire.

Basis of Presentation: The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s historical experience that are believed to be reasonable at the time. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgement. The Partnership’s critical accounting policies are those which require assumptions to be made about matters that are highly uncertain. Different estimates could have a material effect on the Partnership’s financial results. Judgements and uncertainties affecting the application of these policies and estimates may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions and circumstances.

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NERA and its subsidiaries. NERA has a 99.67% to 100% ownership interest in each subsidiary except for theseven limited liability companies (the “Investment Properties” or “Joint Ventures”) in which the Partnership has a 40 -50% ownership interest. The consolidated group is referred to as the “Partnership”. Minority interests are not recorded, since they are insignificant. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The Partnership accounts for its investment in the above-mentioned Investment Properties using the equity method of consolidation. (See Note 15: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures).

The Partnership accounts for its investments in joint ventures using the equity method of accounting. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. Generally, the Partnership would discontinue applying the equity method when the investment (and any advances) is reduced tozero and would not provide for additional losses unless the Partnership has guaranteed obligations of the venture or is otherwise committed to providing further financial support for the investee. If the investment subsequently generates income, the Partnership only recognizes its share of such income to the extent it exceeds its share of previously unrecognized losses. In 2013 and beyond, the carrying values of certain investments fell below zero. We intend to fund our share of the investments’ future operating deficits should the need arise. However, we haveno legal obligation to pay for any of the liabilities of such investments nor do we have any legal obligation to fund operating deficits. (See Note 15: Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.)

The authoritative guidance on consolidation provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and the determination of which business enterprise, if any, should consolidate the VIE (the “primary beneficiary”). Generally, the consideration of whether an entity is a VIE applies when either (1) the equity investors (if any) lack one or more of the essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest, (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that equity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest. The primary beneficiary is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the

variable interest entity’s performance; and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and rights to receive the returns from VIE that would be significant to the VIE.

Impairment: On an annual basis management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Partnership’s rental properties or investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries may be impaired. In addition to identifying any specific circumstances which may affect a property or properties, management considers other criteria for determining which properties may require assessment for potential impairment. The criteria considered by management include reviewing low leased percentages, significant near term lease expirations, recently acquired properties, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, near term mortgage debt maturities or other factors that might impact the Partnership’s intent and ability to hold property. A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property. The Partnership’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated by each property are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and costs to operate each property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analysis may not be achieved.

Revenue Recognition: Rental income from residential and commercial properties is recognized over the term of the related lease. For residential tenants, amounts 60 days in arrears are charged against income. The commercial tenants are evaluated on a case by case basis. Certain leases of the commercial properties provide for increasing stepped minimum rents, which are accounted for on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Contingent rent for commercial properties are received from tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreement. The costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and recoverable costs. Rental concessions are also accounted for on the straight-line basis.

Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the differences between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease values for acquired properties are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options of the respective leases.

Under this standard, the Partnership evaluates the non-lease components (lease arrangements that include common area maintenance services) with related lease components (lease revenues). If both the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the non-lease component and related lease component, the lease component is the predominant component. The Partnership elected an allowed practical expedient. For (i) operating lease arrangements involving real estate that include common area maintenance services and (ii) all real estate arrangements that include real estate taxes and insurance costs, we present these amounts within lease revenues in our consolidated statements of income. We record amounts reimbursed by the lessee in the period in which the applicable expenses are incurred.

Rental Properties: Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; improvements and additions which improve or extend the life of the assets are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of the asset and related accumulated depreciation is eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss on such disposition is included in income. Fully depreciated assets are removed from the accounts. Rental properties are depreciated by both straight-line and accelerated methods over

their estimated useful lives. Upon acquisition of rental property, the Partnership estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities assumed, generally consisting of the fair value of (i) above and below market leases, (ii) in-place leases and (iii)tenant relationships. The Partnership allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values. The Partnership records goodwill or a gain on bargain purchase (if any) if the net assets acquired/liabilities assumed exceed the purchase consideration of a transaction. In estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the Partnership considers information obtained about each property as a result of its due diligence and marketing and leasing activities, and utilizes various valuation methods, such as estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates, estimates of replacement costs net of depreciation, and available market information. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.

Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, which are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Partnership’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. Factors to be considered by management in its analysis of in-place lease values include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, management considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. Characteristics considered by management in valuing tenant relationships include the nature and extent of the Partnership’s existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. The value of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases. The value of tenant relationship intangibles are amortized to expense over the anticipated life of the relationships.

In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a rental property may be impaired, an analysis of the value is prepared. The estimated future undiscounted cash flows are compared to the asset’s carrying value to determine if a write-down to fair value is required.

Leasing Fees: Leasing fees are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease. Unamortized balances are expensed when the corresponding fee is no longer applicable.

Deferred Financing Costs: Costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related indebtedness. Deferred financing costs are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt liability to which they relate, except deferred financing costs related to the revolving credit facility, which are presented in prepaid expenses and other assets. In all cases, amortization of such costs is included in interest expense and was approximately $380,000, $452,000 and $312,000 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 respectively.

Derivative Instruments: The Partnership measures derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, at fair value and records them as an asset or liability, depending upon the Partnership’s rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. For derivatives designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the affected period.

Income Taxes: The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that NERA and its subsidiaries are entitled to tax treatment as partnerships. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes have been recorded (See Note 14).

Cash Equivalents: The Partnership considers cash equivalents to be all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less.

Investments in Treasury Bills: Investments in Treasury Bills are recorded at amortized cost and classified as held to maturity as the Partnership has the intent and the ability to hold them until they mature. The carrying value of the Treasury Bills are adjusted for accretion of discounts over the remaining life of the investment. Income related to the Treasury Bills is recognized in interest income in the Partnership’s consolidated statement of income.

Segment Reporting: Operating segments are revenue producing components of the Partnership for which separate financial information is produced internally for management. Under the definition, NERA operated, for all periods presented, asone segment.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss): Other comprehensive income (loss) includes items that are recorded in equity, such as effective portions of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges or unrealized holding gains or losses on marketable securities available for sale. NERA had a comprehensive loss of approximately $59,000 in 2023,and comprehensive income of approximately $295,000 in 2022, but hadno comprehensive income or loss for 2021.

Income (Loss) Per Depositary Receipt: Effective January 3, 2012, the Partnership authorized a 3-for-1 forward split of its Depositary Receipts listed on the NYSE Amex and a concurrent adjustment of the exchange ratio of Depositary Receipts for Class A Units of the Partnership from 10-to-1 to 30-to-1, such that each Depositary Receipt represents one-thirtieth(1/30) of a Class A Unit of the Partnership. All references to Depositary Receipts in the report are reflective of the 3- for-1 forward split.

Income Per Unit: Net income (loss) per unit has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of units outstanding during each period presented. The Partnership hasno dilutive units and, therefore, basic net income is the same as diluted net income per unit (see Note 7).

Concentration of Credit Risks and Financial Instruments: The Partnership’s properties are located in New England, and the Partnership is subject to the general economic risks related thereto. No single tenant accounted for more than 5% of the Partnership’s revenues in 2023, 2022, or 2021. The Partnership makes its temporary cash investments with high-credit quality financial institutions. At December 31, 2023, substantially all of the Partnership’s cash and cash equivalents were held in interest-bearing accounts at financial institutions, earning interest at rates from 0.01% to 4.07%. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively approximately $18,711,000 and $49,641,000 of cash and cash equivalents, and security deposits included in prepaid expenses and other assets exceeded federally insured amounts.

Advertising Expense: Advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was$359,309, $239,250 and $331,176 in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Rental Property Held f*or sale:*When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Partnership discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. The Partnership generally considers assets to be held for sale when the transaction has received appropriate corporate authority, and there are no significant contingencies relating to the sale. If, in management’s opinion, the estimated net sales price, net of selling costs, of the assets which have been identified as held for sale is less than the carrying value of the assets, a valuation allowance is established.

If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, the Partnership decides not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, the property is reclassified as held and used. A property that is reclassified is measured and recorded individually at the lower of (a) its carrying value before the property was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used, or (b) the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.

Interest Capitalized: The Partnership follows the policy of capitalizing interest as a component of the cost of rental property when the time of construction exceedsone year. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 there wasno capitalized interest.

Extinguishment of Debt: When existing mortgages are refinanced with the same lender and it is determined that the refinancing is substantially different then they are recorded as an extinguishment of debt. However if it is determined that the refinancing is substantially the same then they are recorded as an exchange of debt. All refinancing qualify as extinguishment of debt.

Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in order to conform to current period presentation.

The Partnership’s obligations under the Facility Agreement are secured by mortgages on certain properties pursuant to certain Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents, and Security Agreement and Fixture Filings (“Mortgages”).

The Partnership used the proceeds to pay down approximately $65,305,000 of existing debt secured by 11 properties, along with approximately $2,700,000 in prepayment penalties, which was included in Other Loss in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The remaining balance of approximately $89,000,000 will be used for general

partnership purposes. See schedule in Note 5, Mortgage Notes Payable, for the details of the transaction as it relates to the specific properties.

On October 14, 2022, the Partnership entered into a loan agreement with Brookline Bank refinancing its loan on 659-665 Worcester Road, Framingham, MA. The agreement pays down the loan on the existing debt of $5,954,546.14, extends the maturity until October 14, 2032, at a variable interest rate of SOFR rate, plus 1.7% interest only for 2 years and amortizing using athirty-year schedule for the balance of the term. At closing, the Partnership entered into an interest rate swap contract with Brookline Bank with a notional amount equivalent to the underlying loan principal amortization, resulting in a fixed rate of 4.60% through the expiration of the interest rate swap contract. The agreement also allows for an earn out of up to an additional $1,495,453.86 once the property performance reaches a 1.35 x debt service coverage ratio and the loan to value equates to at most 65%.

The Partnership purchased a commercial retail property of approximately 20,700 square feet, located at 653 Worcester Road in Framingham, Massachusetts for the sum of approximately $10,151,000 on January 18, 2023. This acquisition was funded from the Partnership’s cash reserves and closing costs were approximately $59,000. From the purchase price, the Partnership allocated approximately $585,000 for in- place leases, and approximately $378,000 to the value of tenant relationships. These amounts are being amortized over 12 and 156 months respectively.

On July 14, 2023, the Partnership purchased a 52 unit mixed use property in the South End neighborhood of Boston, MA comprised ofthree buildings at 26-30 Rutland Street, 105-117 West Concord Street and 475 Shawmut Avenue, and approximately 3,400 square feet of commercial space for a purchase price of approximately $27,500,000. This acquisition was funded from the Partnership’s cash reserves and closing costs were approximately $81,000. From the purchase price, the Partnership allocated approximately $525,000 for in-place leases, approximately $61,000 to the value of tenant relationships and $241,000 to the value of below-market leases. These amounts are being amortized over 12 and 36 months respectively.

In December, 2023, the Partnership received approval from MassHousing to construct a 72 unit apartment building in accordance with Chapter 40B to include 17 affordable units on the Mill Street Development site. In order to initiate construction, the Partnership expects to demolish the current building structures and start construction in 2024. No tenants are now occupying the property and with the resulting loss of future cash, Management has recorded an impairment charge of approximately$971,000, the net book value of the building for the Mill Street Development property. In order to comply with the permanent financing requirements for a 40B project, Mill Street Development signed a term sheet for a loan of up to $15 million, to be funded upon completion of the development project. In addition, Mill Street Development deposited $75,000 into escrow to comply with the 40B project requirement of a cost certification of total development costs upon completion of the project.

NOTE 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Partnership’s properties are managed by an entity that is owned by the majority shareholder of the General Partner. The management fee is equal to 4% of gross receipts of rental revenue and laundry income on the majority of the Partnership’s properties and 3% on Linewt. Total fees paid were approximately $2,948,000, $2,717,000 and $2,524,000 in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The Partnership Agreement permits the General Partner or the Hamilton Company to charge the costs of professional services (such as counsel, accountants and contractors) to NERA. In 2023, 2022 and 2021, approximately $1,289,000, $747,000 and $1,086,000, was charged to NERA for legal, accounting, construction, maintenance, rental and architectural services supervision of capital improvements and brokerage commissions.

Additionally in 2023, the Hamilton Company received approximately $797,000 from the Investment Properties of which approximately $699,000 was the management fee, approximately $9,000 was for construction, architectural services and supervision of capital projects, approximately $57,000 was for maintenance services, approximately $31,000 was for administrative services, and approximately $1,000 for renting expenses The management fee is equal to 4% of gross receipts rental income on the majority of investment properties and 2% on Dexter Park.

The Partnership reimburses the Hamilton Company for the payroll and related expenses of the employees who work at the properties. Total reimbursement was approximately $4,180,000, $3,875,000 and $3,640,000 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Hamilton Company maintains a 401K plan for all eligible employees whereby the employees may contribute the maximum allowed by law. The plan also provides for discretionary contributions by the employer.

The agreement pays down the loan on the existing debt of $5,954,546.14, extends the maturity until October 14, 2032, at a variable interest rate of SOFR rate, plus 1.7% interest only for 2 years and amortizing using athirty-year schedule for the balance of the term. At closing, the Partnership entered into an interest rate swap contract with Brookline Bank with a notional amount equivalent to the underlying loan principal amortization, resulting in a fixed rate of 4.60% through the expiration of the interest rate swap contract. The agreement also allows for an earn out of up to an additional $1,495,453.86 once the property performance reaches a 1.35 x debt service coverage ratio and the loan to value equates to at most 65%.

On July 31, 2014, the Partnership entered into an agreement for a $25,000,000 revolving line of credit. The term of the line was forthree years with a floating interest rate equal to a base rate of the greater of (a) the Prime Rate (b) the Federal Funds Rate plusone-half of one percent per annum, or (c) the LIBOR Rate for a period of one month plus 1% per annum, plus the applicable margin of 2.5%. The agreement originally expired on July 31, 2017, and was extended until October 31, 2020. The costs associated with the line of credit extension were approximately $128,000. Prior to the line’s expiration in 2020, the Partnership exercised its option for a one-year extension until October 31, 2021. The Partnership paid an extension fee of approximately $37,500 in association with the extension.

On October 29, 2021,** the Partnership closed on the modification of its existing line of credit. The agreement extends the credit line forthree years until October 29, 2024. The commitment amount is for $25 million but is restricted to $17 million during the modification period. The modification period covered the current period and phased out on December 31, 2022. During this period, the loan covenants were modified from a minimum consolidated debt service ratio of 1.60 to a ratio of 1.35 until September 30, 2022; from a minimum tangible net worth requirement of $200 million to a net worth of $175 million until September 30, 2022; from a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 65% to a ratio of 70% until September 30, 2022 and from a minimum debt yield of 9.5% to a yield of 8.5% until September 30, 2022 and a yield of 9.0% until December 31, 2022. Once the financial performance of the Partnership meets the original covenant tests for the trailing 12-month period, the commitment amount will return to $25 million. The portfolio’s debt yield fell below the minimum of 9.5% to 8.6%. Consequently, as of December 31, 2023, the Partnership did not comply with the debt yield financial covenant. As such, the Partnership is restricted to draw down any amount from the line of credit until the Partnership meets the required financial covenants.**The Partnership is currently in discussions with a Lender for a replacement line of credit. See Note 19, SUBSEQUENT EVENTS, for additional information.

The interest rate for the new term was LIBOR plus 300 basis points. The costs associated with the modification and renewal of the line of credit was approximately $179,000**.** On December 3, 2021, the Partnership paid off the outstanding balance of$17,000,000 on the Line of Credit.

After June 30, 2023, the remaining tenors of U.S.-dollar LIBOR ceased publication, prompting the need for an alternative benchmark rate. On April 14, 2023, the partnership amended the line of credit to convert its base rate of interest from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 10 basis points.

The line of credit may be used for acquisition, refinancing, improvements, working capital and other needs of the Partnership. The line may not be used to pay dividends, make distributions or acquire equity interests of the Partnership.

The line of credit is collateralized by varying percentages of the Partnership’s ownership interest in 23 of its subsidiary properties and joint ventures. Pledged interests range from 49% to 100% of the Partnership’s ownership interest in the respective entities.

NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, we do not have any significant financial assets or financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in our consolidated financial statements.

Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value

At December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and note payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses were representative of their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments or, the recent acquisition of these items. The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash include cash held in checking, U.S. Treasury Bills, and money market accounts.

The Partnership has investments in Treasury Bills some of which mature over a period greater than 90 days and are

classified as short-term investments. The Treasury Bills are carried at amortized cost and classified as held to maturity as the Partnership has the intent and the ability to hold them until they mature. The carrying value of the Treasury Bills are adjusted for accretion of discounts over the remaining life of the investment. Income related to the Treasury Bills is recognized in interest income in the Partnership’s consolidated statement of income. The Treasury Bills are classified within Level I of the fair value hierarchy.

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, we estimated the fair value of our mortgages payable and other notes based upon quoted market prices for the same (Level 1) or similar (Level 2) issues when current quoted market prices are available. We estimated the fair value of our secured mortgage debt that does not have current quoted market prices available by discounting the future cash flows using rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities (Level 3). The differences in the fair value of our debt from the carrying value are the result of differences in interest rates and/or borrowing spreads that were available to us at December 31, 2023 and 2022, as compared with those in effect when the debt was issued or acquired. The secured mortgage debt contain pre-payment penalties or yield maintenance provisions that could make the cost of refinancing the debt at lower rates exceed the benefit that would be derived from doing so.

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Partnership’s line of credit had an outstanding balance ofzero.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Partnership in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:

The following table reflects the carrying amounts and estimated fair value of our cash equivalents, Treasury bills, and debt.

*Net of unamortized deferred financing costs

Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements

since December 31, 2023 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

NOTE 13. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Partnership’s objectives in using rate derivatives are to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Partnership uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Partnership making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Partnership’s variable rate debt. During the next 12 months, the Partnership estimates $111,000 will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense.

As of December 31, 2023, the Partnership hadone interest rate swap outstanding with a notional amount of approximately $236,000 designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. As of December 31, 2023, the Partnership did not have any interest rate derivatives in a net liability position.

The table below presents the fair value of the Partnership’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

The table below presents the effect the Partnership’s derivative financial instruments on the consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022

NOTE 14. TAXABLE INCOME AND TAX BASIS

Taxable income reportable by the Partnership and includable in its partners’ tax returns is different than financial statement income because of different depreciation methods, different tax lives, other items with limited tax deductibility carryovers and timing differences related to prepaid rents, allowances and intangible assets at significant acquisitions. Federal taxable income of approximately $9,989,000 was approximately $1,535,000 more than statement

income for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Federal cumulative tax basis of the Partnership’s real estate at December 31, 2023 is approximately $8,000,000 less than the statement basis. The primary reasons for the difference in tax basis are accelerated depreciation, bonus depreciation and other timing differences. The Partnership’s Federal tax basis in its joint venture investments is approximately $6,000,000 more than statement basis. State taxable income may be significantly different due to different tax treatments for certain items.

Certain entities included in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements are subject to certain state taxes. These taxes are not significant and are recorded as operating expenses in the accompanying consolidates financial statements.

The following reconciles GAAP net income to taxable income:

The Partnership adopted the amended provisions related to uncertain tax provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. As a result of the implementation of the guidance, the Partnership recognized no material adjustments regarding its tax accounting treatment. The Partnership expects to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense, which would be included in general and administrative expense.

In the normal course of business the Partnership or one of its subsidiaries is subject to examination by federal, state and local jurisdictions in which it operates, where applicable. As of December 31, 2023, the tax years that generally remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations is from the year 2020 forward.
